Answer: d. The car is a normal goods for Jim

Explanation: if an individual's income goes up by a certain percentage or amount and, in response, the quantity demanded of good rises by rises in response to the income increase, such good can be considered a normal good. It is also defined as such good for which the income elasticity of demand is positive but less than one. This is the same scenario that has happened with Jim.
